Siltana Yates

Siltana (Meade) Yates, 87 years young, of New London, OH went to be with her heavenly father on February 7, 2018 surrounded by her loving family at the home of her daughter. She was born on June 17, 1930 in Honaker, KY, to the late Robert and Myrtie Ellen (Case) Meade.

She was a mother and homemaker for the 68 years she had with her husband, Carbet Yates who preceded her in death February 14, 2015. She worked very little outside the home. She and Carbet spent many, many hours in the woods looking for ginseng and mushroom hunting. She said it kept them both young.
